Pros

Great vibe, good people, competitive salary, great stock options. I work on the Charts team in Sydney and they're a fantastic, world class group of Software Developers. The rest of the office (and company!) carry a fantastic energy that make Fridays and all the get togethers all the more amazing. MongoDB has been an important part of my mental health journey and I am more than proud to work there. Free Headspace subscription is a great perk!

Cons

Missing a bit of that 'big company' structure, but really getting there. Some parts feel like a big company, some parts feel like a big, well run start up. Kind of hard to articulate.

Pros

Supportive people, a strong culture, and meaningful flexibility are the biggest positives. I've had the chance to work with thoughtful colleagues who care about doing good work and helping each other succeed. There are solid opportunities to learn, build relationships across teams, and contribute in a way that feels impactful.

Cons

Workloads can be heavy during busy periods, and priorities can sometimes shift quickly (which is expected in growing companies)

Pros

Remote work and decent pay

Cons

Really depends on the team, however middle management needs to be addressed. Toxic culture that truly depends on who your manager is. Silent layoffs are made to seem "Performance-based", then job is re-posted at a reduced range. Proceed with caution and understand that HR is not your friend.
